downward spiral

This term describes a depressive state where the person experiencing the downward spiral is getting more and more depressed, perhaps due to causes unknown. It is called a downward spiral because there is no way to stop it, its just going to get worse and worse... until the person crashes, and maybe finds their way back to happiness.

"I don't know what's causing it, but I just want to warn you that I'm on the downward spiral."
"seriously? I hope everything is ok."

or

"I hate my fucking job, my wife is cheating on me, and the only thing keeping me sane is my job with this new startup company that is slowly running out of money for us..."

Downward Dingdong

The act of pointing a boner downward so you can take that first piss of the day when you've got morningwood.

"Man, I woke up having to piss like crazy this morning, but I had major morningwood."
"What'd you do? Piss in your own face?"
"No way, man. Downward dingdong."

Downward Class Migration

A broadly-impacting and relatively permanent economic transition for an entire nation whereby the majority of people found across all socio-economic classes of that nation each get moved downward from their current socio-economic status to a lower class level. For example:

-- Members of the Upper-Middle Class get moved down to the Middle-Middle Class.

-- Members of the Middle-Middle Class get moved down to the Lower-Middle Class.

-- Members of the Lower-Middle Class get moved down to the Lower Class.

-- Members of the Lower Class get moved down into Poverty Status.

The phrase was first used by American social commentator and prepper guru Jack Spirko in his daily podcast “The Survival Podcast” in October of 2008.

"As the American dollar weakens and the economies of China and India strengthen, millions of Americans of all socio-economic status will experience downward class migration and get moved down by at least one whole class level."

downwardly mobile

any individual, family, group, or other association of persons who has lost economic, financial, political and social status either suddenly or over a longer period of time.

1. The Winchesters were once the most prominent family in town. But due to bad luck, poor judgement, financial catastrophe and inheritance taxes, they are now, like most everyone else, nobodies. They have become downwardly mobile.
2. The Big Three automobile manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, General Motors) of Detroit, MI were once the titans of American industry back in the mid-twentieth century. But newer technologies (the internet, the computer laptop, the iPhone, et al), newer regions (Silicon Valley, Wall Street, SunBelt, et al) and other economic, political and social changes have rendered them to the proverbial back-of-the-bus. The Big Three - and Detroit, MI - have become downwardly mobile.
